Solid Waste Collection

Items for weekly collection such as trash, compost, recycling, and large items may be placed at curbside anytime after noon the day before your regular collection. All containers must be removed from curbside or doorside within 12 hours following collection. All items must be out by 7:00 AM on the scheduled collection day.

Doorside and inside collection services are available for additional charges. A senior citizen discount is also available. Call Rizzo Services at  866.772.8900 for more information.

Large Item Collection

Large items (furniture and appliances) are collected on a weekly basis. They must be out at the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day. This service is part of the trash program.

For collection of Freon containing appliances (refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner), please notify Rizzo Services the day before pick-up. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed. A separate truck collects these appliances for removal of the Freon. This service is part of the trash program.

Medical Sharps Collection

If your doctor prescribes home treatments requiring the use of syringes with disposable needles or lancets (commonly referred to as medical sharps), you can dispose of them through a specialized service offered by Rizzo Services. Call Rizzo Services at 866.772.8900 and request a container designed to hold used medical sharps. Once your container is full, place it in your recycling bin and set the bin out on your regular trash pick-up day. It will be collected and the contents disposed of at a licensed medical waste incinerator.

You will need to call Rizzo Services to request a new container each time.  The cost for each container is $15.00 which includes collection and disposal. The service can be billed on your invoice for trash and recycling services. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE LOOSE NEEDLES IN YOUR TRASH!
